THE APPALACHIAN QUILT TRAIL
STITCHES THROUGH EAST TENNESSEE
Experience an escape from the ordinary on the road less traveled.
From the deep mist of the Great Smoky Mountains to the blue ridges of the Cumberland Plateau, it is the character, diversity and wealth of experiences to be had along the Appalachian Quilt Trail (AQT) that make East Tennessee the most unique place to get lost, to find yourself or to just be.
Truly Unique, Truly Tennessee
Take a hike where rugged Tennessee pioneers forged a new nation out of wild land, ride the rapids of some of the most beautiful rivers in the world, stop to hand-pick the freshest local strawberries or savor some finest homemade Tennessee wine along the Appalachian Quilt Trail as you explore the patchwork of blue mountains, green hills, and rolling farmland that’s close to home, but miles from ordinary.
If you are a history buff, you will want to see some of the homesteads, battlefields, and historic sites that reflect 200 years of Tennessee life. Visit the homes of governors John Sevier and William Blount, learn about heroes like Davy Crockett and Sam Houston, and see the sites of decisive battles such as King’s Mountain.
In addition to enjoying all the history and peace and quiet the Appalachian region has to offer, take advantage of the shopping at local boutiques for one-of-a-kind finds, enjoy a candlelit dinner for two at some of the regionals best local restaurants, pop in to one of the local joints for a taste of some downhome music or visit one of the beautiful, historic theatres for a show.
Whether you’re in search of a grand adventure or just a little me time, there’s something truly unique and truly Tennessee along the AQT.
